What does everyone think of this bodykit by DJ Tuning for the w203 c class coupe?

Can't make up my mind if it is worth investing in or not.

A bit too extreeme for me. Most aftermarket kits are. It's a pity they can't be a little more restrained sometimes.

Do not like it think its bit to low the originals look great.

No chance of getting any rust done if this kit was fitted and we all know W203s do rust.

Would like to see it slightly less slammed and some normal 18" wheels on. Actually think it is quite nice, though front bumper a bit OTT. Skirts and rear good....put a Brabus front on it?

Hideous ...

Makes it look like a hungry basking shark ....

As is always the case in questions such as this................providing YOU like it, thats all that really matters.

However, you must realise that with a car such as this, any body tweaking GENERALLY means a lower value come trade-in /sale time. Most people want a standard car. Bodywork mods are perceived by many to be by a barry-boy owner who has given the car a right thrashing. Not always true I know, but its how people see it. Hence the lower price.
Providing you are happy to accept this proviso, go ahead.

Looks a bit too far for me- prefer the AMG kit

Thanks for all the opinions. After finding out it is a fibreglass kit I am staying well clear of it. Had thought it was plastic.

I was also keen on this kit:

But again it's firbreglass.

Looking at the AMG or Brabus kit now which are both plastic. Anyone know where to get them for a reasonable price?

Cheers.
